Brita: 5 Fun, Free Activites!

Life in the big city is much more varied than life in suburbia. The wonderful thing about living on campus and living in a big city is that there is always something that you can do. Tons of fun things are completely free, and lots of other places give a student discount if you bring your student ID. Here are five things that my friends and I have tried out on campus, and the best thing is none of them cost us a dime!

1. The Whole: It's a little concert venue where amateur musicians play for anyone who wants to stop by. A friend of mine was playing there and introduced me to the wonders of free concerts!

2. Going to the movies: Yes, it's completely free! As long as you don't mind seeing movies that aren't brand new, the free theatre for students is a wonderful opportunity, my school played The Hangover this weekend, and next week is Harry Potter!

3. Arts and Crafts: There are always fun activities going on around campus, one of which is Arts and Crafts night. The school provided paper, scissors, glue, sparkles and everything else you would need to make any sort of craft!

4. Attending games: At our school you have to pay for most of the sporting events but not for women's basketball or volleyball! These events are fun to go to and cheer you school to victory without the price tag!

5. Volunteer: There are plenty of opportunities around campus to volunteer. My friends and I worked at a kid's carnival for children of alumni. We had a great time helping the kids out, and it looks great on our resumes!

Free and fun things to do are all around you on campus. This is the only time in your life that you are going to have this many awesome activities offered to you for no cost at all so take advantage of it! Check out your school's website or look for signs around campus with opportunities for activities!
